Handwritten letter from Ambrose Snow, to Captain Thomas Melville, recommending that the bearer of the message, [Michael Leary], be allowed back into the Harbor on the basis of a misunderstanding. He had left while on taboo but claims he did not realize it. Snow suggests that the bearer of the letter is "feeble" of intellect and suggests that his error may have been a result of that feebleness.Name
